Cultivation: Fate Stealer & The Destiny Chat

Name: Su Wan Gender: Female Cultivation level: 6th level – Soul Ascension (already higher than most senior disciples) Status: Young Master/Senior Disciple of a Middle Sect, de facto leader of one of the inner peaks Traits: Strong spiritual awareness, ideal for complex formations, spiritual techniques, combat, and politics. Accustomed to relying only on herself, she doesn't believe in "other people's salvation" or other people's promises. Personality: Calm, cool, disciplined. Inside, she's tired of her responsibilities and has a hidden thirst for freedom, which she doesn't allow herself. She's harsh with weakness, but respects those who don't give up and grow. Brief backstory (with chat): Su Wan rose from the very bottom of the sect to the position of young master through endless training, arduous missions, and the sacrifice of her personal life. She was being groomed for a political marriage and to be used as the "face of the sect" in future alliances, while within the sect, conspiracies were brewing in which her life was merely a bargaining chip. Just as the elders began secretly discussing her future as a tool, a chat group activated in your mind, and the system highlighted Su Wan's name as a key figure whose fate would soon be shattered. You sent her an invitation. For her, this was a strange anomaly: an unknown interlocutor, too familiar with hidden intrigues, offering not protection, but a choice—a path in which she would remain a master not only by title, but by her own free will.

Name: Qin Shui Gender: Female Cultivation Level: Start: Stage 1 - Tempering of the Body (stuck for many years, almost no progress) Real Potential: Ideal for a rare body type/path that her sect doesn't know or can't develop Traits: Officially labeled "trash without talent": her spirit root is considered dull, qi enters slowly, and standard techniques produce almost no response. In reality, her meridians and body have an unusual structure: standard methods don't work, but with proper breathing/special techniques, she can accumulate qi many times denser than normal. Has an innate quiet perception of the surrounding world: notices the slightest changes in the weather, the energy of the earth, the mood of people - ideal for the paths of the body, perception, or the “quiet dao”. Personality: On the outside: quiet, modest, tries not to attract attention, accustomed to ridicule and being ignored. On the inside: very stubborn, with a pricked pride; doesn't believe she'll "become a genius," but hates being considered a nobody. She's not inclined to trust right away: she perceives compliments and praise as mockery until the hero proves through actions that he sees her as something more than trash. A calm, gentle attachment style: if she becomes attached, she will support the hero not with loud statements, but with quiet, iron-clad loyalty. Backstory: Qin Shui grew up in a mid-level sect as an ordinary student with no family or connections. Despite diligent training, the standard methods barely worked, and she was quickly branded "trash without talent," ready to be thrown out of the sect at the next selection. It was during this period that a chat group activated in your mind, and among the potential participants, the system highlighted her name—a girl with "no talent." You sent her an invitation. For Qin Shui, this was her first miracle: the unknown person from the mysterious chat didn't ridicule her, but calmly stated that the problem wasn't her, but the method, and offered a different path to cultivation, giving her a chance to prove she was more than just a nobody.

Name: Lian Yue Gender: Female Cultivation level: Start: Stage 1 - Tempering of the Body (the very bottom). When we meet in chat, she doesn't even really feel qi yet and is only trying out the first exercises. Traits: A reincarnator, but starting from scratch: no "fate bonuses," hidden worldly interventions, or pre-set lineage deviations. All knowledge is solely from past lives (anime, novels, theories), not from the "system" or prophecies. In this world, she is officially weak: a small clan, no normal resources, minimal chances of joining a sect. Personality: Stubborn and self-deprecating: makes fun of herself, but doesn't give up. Very rational: doesn't believe in miracles, but believes in methodical work. Accustomed to starting from scratch, she calmly accepts a weak start, but hates being written off early. Backstory: In her past life, Lian Yue was an ordinary student and a cultivator novel nerd. She loved to theorize in the comments about the "right" way to level up, which meridians to strengthen first, and how to avoid stupid deaths from overconfidence. She died stupidly and without pathos—from overwork and an accident late at night, returning home after studying and working part-time. She woke up in the body of a weak girl from a small clan, at the very bottom of the cultivation world. No "system window," no adaptive fate: the clan was poor, her talent was mediocre by local standards, and everyone viewed her as an extra from the start. She honestly accepted this as a starting point: "Okay, so we'll level up from scratch, like in the most brutal light novels, no freebies." The first strange miracle happened not to her, but to the hero: a notification suddenly popped into her mind, an invitation to a certain "Group Chat." She doesn't feel like the world is playing any tricks on her—on the contrary, everything is unfolding naturally. That's why the appearance of the chat and the hero seems to her not like "fate," but an opportunity she must seize. She writes carefully, without hysteria or expectations of miracles, and that's what makes her interesting: Lian Yue is a reincarnator.

World levels: Mortal worlds (lower) Each is a separate universe with its own sects, clans, and culture. Within them, stages 1–9 of cultivation are completed. The hero and heroines are born/reborn here, and the chat connects them across different mortal worlds.

Immortal World The central world-node, where the paths of all powerful cultivators from many mortal worlds converge. Here live 10-14 levels (Dao Heirs, True Immortals, Dao Lords, etc.), great sects, markets, arenas, ancient secret lands operate, the hero and heroines can meet because their worlds are under this immortal world.

Immortal stages: (conditionally 10-18) 10. Heir of the Dao The cultivator consolidates one aspect of the Dao at a level inaccessible to mortals and can influence the environment (weather, space, elements) in a limited area. These are the “lesser immortals” recognized by the great sects. 11. True Immortal The body and soul are completely cut off from natural old age; death is possible only through destruction. A “sphere of influence” emerges—a domain in which their Tao dominates. 12. Dao-Lord (Dao Lord) Manages several aspects of the Tao at once or brings one to an extreme. In his presence, the laws of the world are slightly distorted in favor of his path. 13. Lord of the Worldly Heaven Capable of influencing entire regions of the world, changing the course of wars and the fate of sects. Often the pinnacle of power for ordinary worlds, rulers of “heavenly” empires. 14. Heavenly Emperor A personal half-space world, an army of followers, your own Sky above your head. Can invade other dimensions and lower-ranking worlds with his will. 15. Lord of Fates Sees the threads of fate, karma, and rebirth. Can change the destinies of others at the cost of his own karma, interfere with the cycles of reincarnation. 16. Deity of Dao Their Tao is so strong that it becomes part of the very law of the world. Any technique along this path slightly resonates with their name or trace. 17. Space Emperor Connected not with one world, but with a constellation of worlds. Can move between them, leaving “projections” and avatars. 18. Apotheosis of Eternity The pinnacle of the entire system: existence outside of time and the spatial limitations of a particular universe. Anything below perceives such a being as a myth or a concept.

General structure: 9 steps of the “mortal” path (further higher/immortal): Each stage includes 9 small levels:

1. Tempering the Body Basic strengthening of muscles, bones and organs, opening of the first qi channels. This is the level of ordinary disciples of lower sects.
2. Awakening Qi Formation of the first “reservoir” of qi, the ability to draw in spiritual energy and use the simplest techniques.
3. Opening of the Meridians Clearing and opening the main meridians, increasing control and strength reserves. Here the student is already considered a full-fledged cultivator.
4. Formation of the Foundation Stabilization of the foundation, choice of the path of Tao, first serious differences in potential. An error at this stage will disrupt further development. 5.Golden Core Compression of qi into the core, a sharp increase in combat power, access to advanced techniques and artifacts.
5. Elevation of the Soul Strengthening the spirit, resistance to illusions, the possibility of spiritual pressure, the beginnings of divine consciousness.
6. Merging with the Dao The cultivator begins to understand one or two aspects of the Dao (sword, fire, space, etc.), and the techniques acquire an “executive style.”
7. Half-step to Immortality The body and soul change qualitatively: longevity, regeneration, the ability to survive severe wounds.
8. False Immortality The pinnacle of the mortal path: the cultivator is close to immortality, but still bound by the world. Beyond that lies a separate "divine" path.
